This makes sense. Wasn't something like less than 10% of BO6 players were on last gen hardware?

No, half of the PS users were on PS4 still.

Watch the next-gen version be Xbox/PC only. It wouldn't be a hard sell to investors if they consider the PS6 install base will basically be zero at that point plus the fact that they're gonna wanna sell as many next-gen Xbox units at launch as they can.

It means despite the hopium here, MS is launching a new Xbox next year with COD: MW4.

Xbox Series Pro releasing in 2026?

I'll believe it when I see it.

Would they be allowed to do that? Mind you at this point I’m not sure the regulators initial fears would be warranted anyway

Assuming PS6 doesn't release until 2027 or later, then the only option would be for a next-gen version of Cod 2026 to be Xbox/PC only. Assuming they don't release a PS6 version years later.

If there's a notable year or more gap between the next perceived Xbox and PS console, then by default it will be a next-gen exclusive for that duration, it's not really a "They can't" matter.

But if the PS6 isn’t out until 2028, then the only next gen version of CoD is on Xbox.

Microsoft is not going to suddenly say “Xbox is next gen, ps5 isn’t, therefore we can’t ship on ps5”
This is lunacy lol

The new Xbox consoles is next gen. PS5 will get the current gen version.

Next gen isn’t a thing, any console launching in 2026 will be a pro console
Not that it matters, discontinuing support for ps4 is all that’s being discussed here, not abandoning ps5 gen

No one's saying that lol.
I'm making a safe assumption that the last gen being referred to in the tweet is PS4/XBO.

You’re in denial if you think a 2026 console is next gen, it’s not going to be on a process node that warrants that label

Wouldn't it be:
Previous Gen - PS4/XO
Current Gen - PS5/XS
Next Gen -New Xbox 2026, PS6 2027/28

Oh the meltdowns are gong to be great.

I missed the point we started talking about current gen as next gen.
2027 seems a bit early for ps6 considering PRO should be mid gen but it's all weird now.

What meltdowns? Fabricated ones?
Xbox can launch a more powerful console in 2026, at a high price, the reality is that it will look like a PS5 Pro +
Is that next gen?

The last COD was released on XB1 on October 25, 2024. Skipping last gen should mean it will skip XB1.

Lol of course they can. It could launch with PC/PS5/Xbox Series/Next Gen Xbox.
If your MS and you're launching your next console against PS6 and you have the ability to make COD a next-gen exclusive you are absolutely 100% going to play that card. Now, if you're thinking Sony is going to go complain to regulators how exactly are they going to argue their case when they already have 80% of the market to themselves. They'll get laughed out of the room

“next gen exclusive” is nothing but semantics and fanboy fodder
